Circulation Stockings

Medical Compression Stockings are helpful to people with circulation problems that occur either temporarily such as travelers on airplanes, people who stand or sit for a long time and pregnancy, especially in the second pregnancy. Compressing at the ankle encourages venous return which is helpful to avoid swelling in the ankles or the lower foot. Compression stockings have also been reported to be useful in healing sprain/strains of the ankle by encouraging a quicker recovery.

Other specific conditions such as thrombophlebitis or varicose veins help keep circulation going so that the condition doesn’t get worse.

Compression stockings can either be in the form of socks or pantyhose. New models include toeless pantyhose for sandal wear and trouser socks with a Core Spun material with silver that is a natural anti-bacterial.
